Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was a young and promising German who at age 29 decided to undertake the profession of Medical Doctor at the University of Strassburg after finishing a career in musical studies in Paris (1899) and obtaining in Berlin a doctoral degree in Philosophy and Theology. Surprisingly, Albert Schweitzer, despite his comfortable life in Europe, decided in 1913 to practice his medical career in a remote and small Equatorial African country. He devoted nearly 50 years of his life caring for the Black population at Lamaberene, where he built a hospital. In this paper, we attempt to develop some theoretical aspects related with interculturality in the medical practice of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. We begin by considering certain sociocultural variables in hospitals that give care to patients with cultural characteristics that are substantially different from those of the health care personnel who organize, administer, and execute medical functions.
阿尔贝特·施韦泽(1875 - 1965)是一位年轻有为的德国人,他在巴黎完成音乐学业(1899年)并在柏林获得哲学与神学博士学位后,于29岁时决定在斯特拉斯堡大学从事医学职业。令人惊讶的是,尽管阿尔贝特·施韦泽在欧洲过着舒适的生活,但他在1913年决定在遥远的赤道非洲小国行医。他一生近50年都致力于在兰巴雷内照顾黑人居民,并在那里建造了一家医院。在本文中,我们试图探讨与阿尔贝特·施韦泽医生医疗实践中的跨文化性相关的一些理论方面。我们首先考虑医院中的某些社会文化变量,这些变量涉及照顾具有与组织、管理和执行医疗功能的医护人员截然不同文化特征的患者。
